Before You Start
1.1 Disclaimer and safety Guidelines
1. The laser engraver emits laser light. Placing any living body under the laser emission port (marked with an orange warning sign) is strictly forbidden.
2. Patients with photosensitive epilepsy are prohibited from using or approaching the laser engraver.
3. When using the laser engraver, the operator and anyone near the machine must wear laser safety goggles. Operating the laser engraver without goggles’ protection is not allowed. Our machine comes with a pair of safety goggles, but additional laser safety goggles need to be purchased separately. The goggles should offer wavelength protection of 400-445m(±5m), an outer diameter of +5, and a minimum L-level L5.
4. Avoid placing flammable materials near the laser engraver. When the laser engraver is running, closely observe it and avoid leaving it unattended to prevent the engraved objects from catching fire. Set up the laser engraver in a fireproof area and ensure proper ventilation. If possible, we recommend purchasing a fire extinguisher and keeping it nearby the machine.
5. Ensure there is enough space when operating the laser engraver. Engraving certain materials may produce smoke, so it's important to use exhaust equipment to vent the smoke out.
6. When the machine is running, avoid letting your body or other objects touch the laser beam, as this may cause serious bodily injury or beam reflection. Do not touch the radiator, as it may still be hot even after the laser engraver has stopped working.
7. Do not allow children or teenagers to use the laser engraver alone, especially children under the age of 14. Adult supervision is required at all times.
8. The operating temperature range of the machine is -10°C to 40°C.
9. The use of the laser engraver carries a significant risk of fire. When operating the machine, please ensure that someone is available to handle any potential fire emergencies at all times.

3.4 FAQ
No response from the machine when being powered on.
No power supply: Please check the socket and switch as well as the machine power socket to ensure that they ha been correctly plugged with normal power supply. It cannot be connected to computer.
USB cable not connected: Please check the USB data cable interface on the machine and computer to ensure it's correctly plugged.The USB interface on the front panel of some desktop computers is invalid, it's better to connect to the interface on the back.
Driver not properly installed: Install the driver according to the instructions. After the installation is done, the computer will recognize the device as a serial port,which means the hardware connection is OK.
Other special problems:Pull out the USB data cable and power cable, keep the machine power off for 5 seconds and then try the connection once again.
No response from the phone APP when being connected to the machine. Wrong Bluetooth connection: Make sure it's connected to the Bluetooth released by the machine. Please read “App Connection” in the User Manual for details.
Incompatibility: In the case of abnormal connection due to incompatibility of newly-released phone or upgraded system, please contact our customer service with the screenshot of phone configuration so as to get technical support as soon as possible.
Shallow engraving effect or no traces.
Inaccurate focus: Refer to the "Focus Adjustment" in the User Manual to make the correct focus.
Engraving speed: Too fast speed is due to short burning time.Please read the“Engraving Parameters" in the Manual to readjust the parameters.
Photo color is too light: The photo added should be clear. If the line is too thin or the color is too light, the engraving effect will be directly influenced. Position of object to be engraved: If the object is placed obliquely, the focal length of laser is fixed,so the object should be placed horizontally in parallel to the machine; otherwise, the inaccurate focal length will result in bad engraving effect.
Offline engraving unexpectedly stops
